Called to Serve (Exhortation given to the group of scholar volunteers YFCs who will serve in VF)

“The greatest among you will be your servant” - Matthew 23:11

“ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in
its various forms.” - 1Peter 4:10
Being YFC, You are Called to Serve
 God has personally called, gifted, equipped, and empowered each believer to serve one another to the
glory of God.
 God calls us to have a servant’s heart—motivated to live a life that glorifies Him, not ourselves.
 We ultimately serve Christ, and He is not concerned with recognition we receive. He desires our obedience
and best effort.
God’s Promise to Those Who are Called to Serve
 Serving others may not always be an easy task, but fortunately we need not bear these burdens alone.
”For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand
so we may do them.” -Eph. 2:10

“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people
and continue to help them.” -Hebrews 6:10

Definition of Values. (This will be delivered by speaker/head facilitator in step 1 – Orientation but in a
much simpler language preferably in Tagalog)
Values are principles that allow us to guide our behavior to fulfill ourselves as individuals. They are
fundamental beliefs that help us prefer, accept and choose one thing over another or a behavior over another.
They are also a source of satisfaction and fulfillment.
Values refer to human needs and represent ideals, dreams and aspirations. Their importance is independent
of the circumstances. For example, even though we may be unfair, fairness still has a value. The same
happens with wellbeing or happiness.
Values translate into thoughts, concepts or ideas, but what we appreciate most is behavior, what people do.
Valuable persons live according to their values. Their worth is reflected in their values and how they express
these values in their daily life.
Values also constitute the foundations for co-existence n a community and relations with others. They
regulate our behavior to the benefit of collective wellbeing.
What Are Your Core Values?
An ethical person is a person who acts with integrity. Thus, everyone entails knowing your core values and
having the courage to act on them on behalf of the common good. Of course, “core values” are a deeply
personal concept that requires a lot of reflection.
This activity guides participants through the self-reflection process to help them identify their core values –
those that will always be important to them.
